Knowledgeability of HIV/AIDS at Port St Johns Senior Secondary School.

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The incidence of HIV infection and AIDS is rising in Africa despite the challenge to have zero infections by 2015. More information is available on knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) with respect to HIV/AIDS among school children from developing countries.Persistent and effective information campaigns, therefore, are necessary to change their attitudes toward the HIV/AIDS pandemic. South Africa is currently experiencing one of the most severe AIDS epidemics in the world with more than 11% of population living with HIV.This study set out to determine the knowledge, attitude and risk perception of Ports St Johns Senior Secondary School educators and learners to HIV infection and AIDS.
